Suggest Remedy For Chest Pain Due To Choking Accident

Hi there, I'm a 17/yr old female and yesterday I had a pretty serious choking accident. I was drinking iced tea and my friend made me laugh, I couldn't breath for probably 30 seconds and she was 2 seconds away from doing the heimlich. Afterwards, and still today, my chest hurts if I take deep breaths or sneeze. Breathing normally seems to be alright though. I wanted to know if this is something serious and if I should get checked out by a doctor?
